    Construction of a major triple-deck roundabout in North Tyneside, England starts in August.

    The roundabout is part of an upgrade to the A19/A1058 Coast Road junction that includes lowering the A19 beneath the existing A1058 Coast Road and roundabout.

    The €90 million scheme is on the main route to and from the Tyne Tunnel and will mean that people travelling along the A19 will no longer have to queue at the roundabout to go continue their journey straight ahead. Instead, drivers will use a new section of road which will run under the junction.
